Gensui creates a special seal tag which if placed on human being, transforms them into false replications of one of the tailed beasts. Not only does the seal shape the victim into the desired tailed beast, it also grants them the original's abilities.

In order to maintain itself, the technique drains the victims chakra, leaving them in varying stages of incapacitation, dependent on the techniques duration. Also, while the technique is active, the victim is under the complete control of the user.
